Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof; and- Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig ure 1.

Referring to the drawings,-1,0 is a base so formed as to adapt the light for mount v ing on the fender of a vehicle. The base 10 is formed With-a cylindrical borell for. slidably receiving. thefusual bayonet socket I or receptacle 12 forjai bayonet base electric lamp. Secured on the base 10 is a light. casing 13-having agenerally parabolical, cy

lindrical outer surface. The casing. 13 is formed with a circumferential flange 14' adjacent and parallel to its frontzedge, said flange, in effect, defining a rim l5 on which a torus :16, preferably of rubber, is adapted to be received. The torus 16 may be, for example, in simulation of a pneumatic tire casing or a cushion or solid tire, as desired.

For demountably securing the torus 16 V on I the rim 15, a removable'flange ring17 may brief debe employed.
